Getting' ta know ya part 2

We now see Chris and the campers gathered next to the mess hall. Granted, it is 7:00 in the morning and they are rather grumpy, but they are there nonetheless.

"So- how are the teams doing?" He smirks. To answer he receives Mikey's sandal in his face, courtesy of Nick.

"Good! Well, your first challenge is something I like to call: Team Ties!" Charlie sends him a confused look, cocking her head. "You will be chained to a teammate of our choice for the whole day!"

"What?" Cho balks.

"In your contracts!" Sings Chris smugly.

Steven cam:

He gives a hopeless look at the camera. "NO no no no no no no no no-"

End Steven cam.

Dawn cam:

"Well, how bad could it be?" She smiles innocently. "I mean, I like all the people on my team. Except Nick. He's scary. Now that I think of it," She frowns, "So is Phoebe. And Autumn, kind of."

End Dawn cam.

Benny cam:

Glower.

End Benny cam.

"Hey," blurts Autumn suddenly. "Where's Gwen? She'd be on our side!"

"She wanted to sleep in. What? It's seven in the morning!" Jack looks about ready to get his guitar to whack the handsome host over the head with it. "Jeez! She's already gone through TDI once!"

"Whatever," scoffs Sapphire.

"Anyway, here are your partners: Nick: Breanna and you- we could do with more Duncan Courtney couples."

Breanna glares. "NOT A CHANCE IN HELL."

"Hey, hey, calm down! I didn't write my script! Whatever. Next, Sapphire and Wyatt seem suitably opposite!"

There is some apprehensiveness- so Chris makes Chef shove them together.

"Come on, guys! Cho! Autumn and ye need some bonding, ar?"

"That is so seriously lame, Mclean." Autumn growls as she is unwillingly chained to a growling Cho.

"Lauren, Speed? Isn't it obvious?"

Lauren actually grins and skips over to a surprised, though not unhappy, Speed.

"uh… okay. Phoebe, Dawn is a widdwe wodewy!"

"Oh crap." Surprisingly, this is Dawn, not Phoebe, saying this. It's understandable, though, because Phoebe is currently sporting a rather furious expression.

"Jack, Nikki? The two most sane on the show?"

"I resent to that!" Smiles Nikki comfortably. Jack grins back.

"Charlie, Milo is the only one here who doesn't seem to get annoyed by you, so there you go!"

"Yay!" giggles Charlie as she dances over to a content Milo.

"Kailey, Benny needs some conversation!"

Kailey looks like someone about to get hit with a train, while Benny… stands there.

"Abby, Bren! Two more sane people- though socially awkward."

Bren looks a little offended at the 'socially awkward' part, but Abby just hangs her head in shame.

"Mikey, mix auras with Steven!"

Steven looks extremely unwilling, but Mikey is vaguely oblivious.

"And, since our teams have uneven numbers, TJ and Russell!" Neither of them complains as they are cuffed together.

"Meet back at the campfire in five hours!"

………….

Team Sapphyatt:

"So, eehh.." Wyatt says, trying to spark a conversation. "What's up?"

She looks at him. "nothing."

"Oh… interesting!" He waits for her to ask what's up with him, but she says nothing. "I'm… feeling dandy meself."

"Hm. Really."

"Yehp… yep."

…………

Team Chautumn:

"Okay- look. I don't like you." Spits Cho as they walk. "And, from what I can tell, you aren't to fond of me either."

"Not a smidgen."

"Good. Anyway, the only way we can survive this- horrific happenance is to not talk."

"Okey doke. A-okay with me."

"…good."

………….

Team Laudy:

"No way! A 3000 S-9 vu engine?"

"Truth!"

"Girl, you got skills!"

"I know, I know. Bask in my glory!"

"Well all I built this summer was a plain old SH 2000 modular for my bike…"

………….

Team Phawn:

"Okay, if we're handcuffed together, we might as well try to get along!" Redheaded Dawn announced, after several minutes of awkward silence.

"So we talk." Grumbled her purple-haired partner.

"Right!"

"…"

"…what's your favorite color?"

"Purple."

"red… Hey! If you were a penguin, what kind would you be?"

"What kind of question is that?!"

…………

Team Jakki:

The two walk along in a comfortable silence for some time. Then jack asks, "So! Where you from?"

The girl smiles at her black-haired friend. "Originally Toronto, but now I'm at a boarding school… you?"

"Ontario.. With my twin." He frowns. "he's the one who broke my guitar."

"no!" She gasps. "So you had to get a new one?"

"Yep… that's the one I brought with me."

"Oh!"

………….

Team Charlo:

"I'm Charlie!"

"And Iiiiiii'm Milo!"

"Welcome to- drum roll please!"

"The Darane and Denver show!"

Team Charlo has decided to pass the time by getting to know each other- by… pretending to be a radio show?

"So Charlie, where you from?"

"well Milo, I'm from a dysfunctional household!"

"…That's a big word…"

"Hush!"

………….

Team Kennay:

Kailey and Benny are sitting on a stump… silently.

"So… are you liking Camp Wawanakwa?"

Benny nods… silently.

"Do you like the people here?"
Benny nods…silently.

"will you ever talk?"

Benny nods… silently.

"then talk, /censored/!"

"Fine! Fine!... Sheesh."

"…You mean… you can talk?"

…………

Team Abren:

"This is getting boring!" whines the blonde girl.

"Uh, okay. Let's play 20 questions?"

"Okay, um… what's your hobby?"

"Martial arts, definitely! Why do you want to win?"

"I guess… to move out. Same question."
"To visit Japan!"

………..

Team Miven:

Steven has almost torn his hair out by now. I mean come on, all this dweeb does is talk about chi and tie-dye!

"Let's talk about something else!" he blurts suddenly.

"Oookay. What, man?"

"Um… I dunno, cooking?"

"You mean like Top Ramen?"

………….

Team Breannick:

They're lagging around at the mess hall, glaring at each other.

"I'm getting my camera," Breanna huffs.

"Why."

"Because I want to."

"Why."

"because I'm a photographer."

"Why."

"Shut up."

"Why."

"Because otherwise you die."

"…oh."

………….

Team TrusselJ:

"So…" TJ sighs, trying to initiate conversation. "wassup?"

"Nothing much… you?"

"Just hanging out…"

"What's your hobby?" He winces, as though figuring that's a bad question.

"Partying dude!"

"I like barking and- never mind."

"Why?" He gasps dramatically. "Is it dirty??"

"NO! Just… embarrassing…"

"'s diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirty!"

"Shut up!"

………….

"So- how'd it go?" Chris asks the campers. Some are bearing injuries- Steven with slightly less hair, and Nick sporting a red cheek- while others came out looking happier than before.

"Terrible!" Is still the response, though.

Ignoring this, Chris plows on. "I hope you talked, because here comes the second part of the challenge! The 'do you know your team' quiz!"

"Catchy title," mutters Gwen sarcastically- apparently she's awake now. There are murmurs of agreement.

"Anyway, this is how it's going to work: each one of you will sit in the 'hot seat'-" He indicates a rickety chair set upon a small green wooden platform "- and be asked questions about the person they were chained to."

"Does that mean we can take the cuffs off?" Breanna asks excitedly.

"Yep," replies Gwen.

"YES!!!" Come most of the campers' voices.

………….

Dawn is first.

"What was your partner's name?"

"Phoebe." Ding.

"How old is she?"

"She's 16." Ding.

"How many earrings does she have in each ear?"

"Um… two?" dong.

"Where did she grow up?"

"Hawaii?" ding.

"Her least favorite color?"

"I think… pink? Or yellow?" ding.

"Okay! Those were your five questions. And the regal chipmunks have four points! Milo, you're up next!"

Milo leaps, yes leaps, up to the seat.

"What was your partner's name?"

"Her name is Charlie!" ding.

"What's she scared of?"
"Snakes!" ding.

"Does she have any siblings?"

"A twin brother named Harley!" ding.

"What do her pajamas look like?"

"Uh… pink?"

"The score is 4.5 to 4, Moose favor! Nick, you're up next!"

Nick slouches and grumbles over to the platform.

"What was your partner's name?"

"Breanna." Ding.

"what's she scared of?"

"Bad grades?" dong.

"What's her hobby?"

"Photography, duh." Ding.

"How many siblings does she have?"

"…a lot?"

"So it's 6.5 to 4.5, chipmunk favor!"

…………

By the end of the contest, the score is 31.5 to 40- Moose favor.

"Chipmunks! You lose! I'll see you at the bonfire ceremony!"

…………

Voting cam:

Cho-

Cho crosses her arms and scowls. "It was really hard to pick one annoying person from this group of idiots." She rolls her eyes towards the ceiling and sighs. "But anyway, Mikey seems like our least useful asset. Buh-bye!"

Autumn-

Autumn is glaring as hard as possible at the camera. "CHO NEEDS. TA GO."

Phoebe-

She makes an amused expression. "Is there any other choice? Duh, Cho!"

Dawn-

Dawn widens her eyes innocently. "I really didn't know who to vote off, so I asked Breanna and she told me to pick whoever I want. So I put all the names in a baggy- and Mikey won- well, lost, I guess."

Jack-

He glances around the room. "wow, this is the first time I've used this thing! Anyway, Mikey- he sort of creeps me out."

Breanna-

She looks about ready to stab something, but instead she just glares. "I have photo evidence that Nick is an evil little butt who deserves to die a miserable death and-"

Nick-

Nick casually starts carving something into the wall. Looking over his shoulder, he speaks, "Oh! Yeah, Mikey's weird… 'nuff said."

Nikki-

She rolls her eyes and scoffs. "Duh- Cho."

Mikey-

He widens his eyes and sniffs. "Phoebe scares the crap out of me!"

Steven-

"Oh my god- I don't want to have to spend another minute with Mikey," Steven says, head in his hands. "I'm voting him off- I don't think anyone else will."

Russell-

He shrugs and furrows his brow. "I dunno, I guess.. Nick? He's kind of mean."

………….

"Eleven teens stand before- but I only have ten marshmallows on this plate." Chris begins with a 'solemn' place.

Cho snorts. "Get on with it, douche."

He glares and continues. "One of you must pack your bags tonight, and leave the island- forever!"

"And you can never come back- EVER!" completes the campers in unison.

Chris's last nerve broke. "Ruin the suspense, why don't you!"

"Yeah, why don't we?" Mocks Nick.

"For Pete's sake! Chef-" Chris yells, pulling the burly cook into the shot "- your turn!"

"NO WAY, CHRIS-MAN!"

Chris sighs, and turns to glare at the campers. Breanna and Jack are the only ones looking even slightly guilty.

"Whatever," Chris scoffs. "Autumn, Dawn, Breanna, Jack," He rolls off, throwing them marshmallows. "You're safe. So are Nikki, Steven and Russell; Nick and Phoebe. You're all safe- for now."

The only two left are Cho and Mikey. Neither seem nervous- quite the contrary! Cho only smirks, and Mikey seems quite oblivious.

"Michael, Cho," Chris continues. "One of you is leaving tonight. You will pack your bags, board the boat of losers and leave the island- and you can never come back- EVAH."

Cho snorts and rolls her eyes at his repition.

Slowly Chris raises his index finger skywards- taking a detour at the other campers- draws it to his chin, extends it again towards the two, closes his eyes, opens them and laughs.

"Cho." He tosses the triumphant Asian her marshmallow. "You're safe."

Mikey seems to have gone into shock. How could he LOSE to the evilest of ALL MAMMALS?

Slowly he turns to his teammate Steven.

"You had something to do with this. Tell me the truth, man."

"I might have played a small role…" mutters Steven guiltily.

Nikki roles her eyes. "wow, so mature, Stevie."

"Excuse me?"

"Get a move on, people!" Chris yells suddenly, shoving Mikey towards the dock. The hippie gives one more wave before stepping on the boat and zooming away.

Steven gives a guilty look to the camera.

Steven cam:

He scratches the back of his black-haired head awkwardly. "It's not that I hate him or anything! It's just that he was annoying me, and I might have complained to the others about it…" He gives a weak shrug.

End Steven cam.

Next time on Total, Drama, Island!

"Me? Heather?"

"Give me back my pants!"

"Wait- we're doing that?!"

"This is gonna be awe-some!!!"
